ANNUAL RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”)
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached other than companies listed on the Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement, for which the directors of Sing Lee Software (Group) Limited (the “Company”) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Under the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (“Companies Act”), share premium is distributable to shareholders, subject to the condition that the Company cannot declare or pay a dividend, or make a distribution out of share premium and capital reserve if (i) it is, or would after the payment be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, or (ii) the realisable value of its assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and its issued share capital account.
As stipulated by the relevant laws and regulations for foreign investment enterprises in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), the Company’s PRC subsidiaries are required to maintain two statutory reserves, being an enterprise expansion fund and a statutory surplus reserve fund which are nondistributable. Appropriations to such reserves are made out of net profit after taxation reported in the statutory financial statements of the PRC subsidiaries while the amounts and allocation basis are decided by their respective boards of directors annually. The statutory surplus reserve fund can be used to make up their prior year losses, if any, and can be applied in conversion into capital by means of capitalisation issue. The enterprise expansion fund is used for expanding the capital base of the PRC subsidiaries by means of capitalisation issue.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as issued in November 2009) introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as revised in October 2010) adds requirements for financial liabilities and for derecognition.
6
Specifically, under IFRS 9, all recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent accounting periods.
In relation to financial liabilities, the significant change relates to financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Specifically, under IFRS 9, for financial liabilities that are designated as at fair value through profit or loss, the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the presentation of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value attributable to a financial liability’s credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Previously, under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as at fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.
IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, with earlier application permitted.
The directors anticipate that IFRS 9 that will be adopted in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for financial year ending 31 December 2013. The directors are in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of IFRS 9.
The directors of the Company anticipate that the application of the other new and revised IFRSs will have no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the IASB. In addition, the consolidated financial statements include applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies set out below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
The principal accounting policies are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries). Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
7
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of acquisition and up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods sold and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts and sales related taxes.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all the following conditions are satisfied:
-
the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods;
-
the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
-
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
-
it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the Group; and
-
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue from sales of hardware and software products is recognised when the goods are delivered and title has passed upon customers’ acceptance.
Service income for provision of software-related technical support is recognised when services are provided.
Interest income from a financial asset is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Interest income from a financial asset is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition.
6. REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group’s operations are organised based on the different types of products sold and service provided. Information reported to the Board of Directors of the Company, being the chief operating decision maker, for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance is also focused on types of goods or services delivered or provided.

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies as described in note 5. Segment loss represents the loss from each segment without allocation of directors’ remuneration, finance costs, loss on initial recognition of warrant subscription rights, unallocated other income and other gains. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation and performance assessment. No segment information on assets and liabilities is presented as such information is not regularly reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and performance assessment.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Hangzhou Singlee Technology Company Limited (“Singlee Technology”), a subsidiary of the Company, was established in Hangzhou, PRC, with applicable tax rate of 25%. In 2010, Singlee Technology is a High and New Technology Enterprise defined by Zhejiang Finance Bureau, Administrator of Local Taxation of Zhejiang Municipality and Zhejiang Municipal office of the State Administration of Taxation and therefore is entitled to 15% preferential tax rate from PRC EIT for three years starting from 2010. Accordingly, the tax rate for Singlee Technology is 15% for the years ended 31 December 2010.
According to the New PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law, the applicable tax rate of Hangzhou Singlee Software Company Limited (“Singlee Software”), Singlee Software (Zhuhai) Company Limited (“Singlee Zhuhai”) and Beijing Century Financial Knowledge Company Limited (“Beijing Century”) is 25% for the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009.
No provision for Hong Kong Profits Tax has been made as the Group had no estimated assessable profits arising from Hong Kong during the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009.
13
The tax charge for the year is reconciled to the loss before tax per the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as follows:
| Loss before tax Tax charge at enterprise income tax rate at 15% (2009: 25%) (note) Tax effect of income not taxable for tax purpose Tax effect of expenses not deductible for tax purpose Effect of different tax rates of group entities Tax effect of deductible temporary difference not recognised Tax effect of tax losses not recognised Utilisation of tax losses previously not recognized Under provision in respect of prior years Tax charge for the year |

2009 RMB’000 (restated) (1,547) (387) (74) 1,651 (533) 250 1,016 (1,923) – – |
|---|---|---|
Note: Applicable income tax rate of 15% (2009: 25%) represents the relevant income tax rate of Singlee Technology, the subsidiary of the Company which generates majority of the Group’s assessable profit.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group has unused tax losses of RMB24,176,000 (2009: RMB4,064,000), available for offset against future profits and deductible temporary differences of RMB16,714,000 (2009: RMB6,465,000). The unused tax losses would be expired in 2015. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in relation to the unused tax losses and the deductible temporary difference as it is not probable that taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses and the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
14
10. LOSS FOR THE YEAR
Loss for the year has been arrived at after charging and crediting the following items:
| Salaries, wages and other staff benefits Retirement benefits scheme contribution Equity-settled share-based payment expenses Total staff costs (note) Depreciation of property, plant and equipment Amortisation of intangible assets (included in cost of sales) Auditor’s remuneration Operating lease rentals in respect of rental premises Impairment loss recognised on inventories (included in cost of sales) Cost of inventories recognised as an expense Interest income Government grants – subsidy related to products – value-added tax refunds Write back of trade and other payables Sundry income |

Note: Directors’ emoluments are included in the above staff costs.

11. LOSS PER SHARE
The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to the owners of the Company is based on the following data:
| Loss Loss for the purpose of basic loss per share (loss for the year attributable to owners of the Company) Effect of dilutive warrant subscription rights: – Fair value gain on warrant subscription rights Loss for the purpose of diluted loss per share Number of shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic loss per share Effect of dilutive potential ordinary shares – warrant subscription rights Weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of diluted loss per share |
2010 RMB’000 (63,664) (15,325) (78,989) 2010 ’000 756,482 3,529 760,011 |
2009 RMB’000 (Restated) (1,547) – (1,547) 2009 ’000 663,200 – 663,200 |
|---|---|---|
The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2010 does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding 2002 Option and 2010 August Option (as defined in note 28) as the exercise prices of those options are higher than the average market price of shares for 2010. The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2010 also does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding 2007 Option and 2010 January Option (as defined in note 28) as the assumed exercise of 2007 Option and 2010 January Option would result in the decrease of loss per share.
The computation of diluted loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2009 does not assume the exercise of the Company’s outstanding 2002 Option and 2007 Option as the exercise prices of those options are higher than the average market price of shares for 2009.

BUSINESS REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
“Mobile Payment” Business of Mobile E-commerce
On 20 August 2010 and 25 October 2010, the Group entered into a four-year and a five-year strategic cooperation agreement with the Yunnan Branch of China UnionPay Co., Ltd. and the China UnionPay Co., Ltd. respectively. The Yunnan project was officially launched on 20 August. In the fourth quarter, the Hubei and Guizhou projects were also launched consecutively, along with official operation commenced in the three provinces. The Group is of the view that as the number of subscribers has increased to nearly one hundred thousand in only three months’ time, it proves that the market response is good and the long-term strategic cooperation with UnionPay in the extensive market of “mobile payment” and “mobile e-commerce” is of significant strategic meaning. The negotiation and the preparation work in various aspects have commenced for the projects in Shanghai, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.
Finance and Banking Business
The Group introduced its first and second generation RUNPOS products to two more large-scale commercial banks during the year, which significantly increased our market share and sales, and laid a more extensive market foundation for the development of “mobile payment” business.
Future Outlook
In order to ensure the smooth progress of the “mobile payment”, a material strategic project in collaboration with UnionPay in the year, the Group recorded substantial increase in costs attributable by its investment in human resources, research and development, and market exposure, which has resulted in a loss for the Group over the year. However, the Group is of the view that such centralised investment is necessary, which is of significant strategic meaning to the formation of long-term development and core competitiveness of the Group. Hence, the Group has undergone two rounds of financing. The analysis of the financing market response has demonstrated that the “mobile payment” and “mobile e-commerce” projects of the Group were adequately recognised by the market.
21
The Group will be fully committed in developing the innovative products of our RUNPOS series, particularly the “mobile payment” and “mobile e-commerce”, in order to steadily achieve the substantial target of strategic transformation of the Group. We will continue to enhance the close cooperation and effective work with UnionPay and other major clients, and reinforce the risk control and various sorts of management in respect of safety, technology, research and development, marketing, sales and finance. In particular, stringent monitoring and risk control are imposed on the various investments of capital so as to ensure the real success of the strategic transformation of the Group.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
The Group is principally engaged in the development and sales of information and network technologies and services to the financial industry in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”).
For the year ended 31 December 2010 (“the financial year”), the Group recorded a total turnover of approximately RMB15,435,000 representing a decrease of 63% as compared to last year (last year turnover were approximately RMB41,417,000).
Turnover of the Group comprises of:
| Turnover | Turnover | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 2009 | ||
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | ||
| Sale of software products | 1,867 | 1,605 | |
| Sale of related hardware products | 903 | 13,697 | |
| Provision of software-related technical support services | 12,665 | 26,115 |
The Group recorded a loss of approximately RMB63,664,000 for the financial year, a significant loss as compared to last year (net loss for last year was approximately RMB1,547,000). Decrease in turnover, initial recognition of warrants in derivative financial liability, impairment loss on intangible assets, allowance on trade receivables, impairment loss recognised on inventories, increase in distribution and selling expenses, increase in administrative expenses and research and development costs are of the factors leading to the significant loss.
We will continue trying our best to increase sales and strengthen our cost control. With the products of our group becoming more mature in the market and the effective cost control, we expect that financial results of the group will be further improved in the coming year.
